I wore this under a black tie, fitted full length dress and it was great! It is of a lightweight, very thin, delicate (but not so delicate it would tear) fabric that is so comfortable you don't even know it is on. I love the fabric! The straps over the shoulders were slightly to the outside of where my normal bra straps would be, which was perfect for a more open neckline. I almost panicked about going to the bathroom with this on, but they thought to put an collapsable open the was easy to pull aside so this isn't a problem. This was a great piece to have for under a body con or shift dress. No visible lines at all!!!

A few years ago I would have said stay away from Spanx because the quality & comfort is fair. However, the Assets label has become my new favorite on all counts! There are a lot of products out there and it is often difficult to find the right pieces to work for your body type to help achieve the silhouette you want while allowing comfort and function. This is a versatile piece and everyone should try it! It's magnificent!

Background/Body Type: I'm 42'' hip and 29'' waist. I'm a size M to L in pants or about a size 6-8, but it depends on the brand. In jeans I'm a 29W, 32L. I'm slender but thick in the thighs and tush. I have a lot of cellulite on the back of my thighs but nowhere else.
Review: I needed a slip or a shaper to wear under my wedding dress. My wedding dress was white and somewhate a Greecian style. It cinched around my waist and flowed down. However I had a serious problem. My cellulite was VERY visible through the dress even though the dress wasn't see-through AND it had a slip sewn in. That is how serious my cellulite is. I'm not a big person but I have serious cellulite. I'm fine with it and my husband is but I didn't necessarily want my in-laws, family, or wedding guests to see it through my dress.
I tried a lot of different slimmers or shapers. This one won hands down. On my wedding day, my underwear stayed in place. I never got a wedgie. I was very comfortable in this. It did a great job smoothing and you could not see this slip under my dress. No one knew I was wearing it except my best friend. It also gave some control for the area below my belly button. Which I didn't really need but was actually really nice. I had a last minute wedding so I didn't get to starve myself or workout for a year prior to this event so the extra slimming was really nice. In all of my wedding photos you can't tell I'm wearing it and my cellulite was non-existent.
I ate dinner and danced and did all kinds of things in this slimmer and I forgot I was wearing it. It does provide firm control but it isn't like you are walking around a boa constrictor cage of a shaper or something. It also breaths nicely and keeps your panties in place which is a plus.
I'm glad I went with this for my wedding and I'll definitely wear this under other dresses in the future. Unfortunately there's only so much I can do about cellulite but it's nice that it doesn't have to show through some of my pants and dresses now. I am SO happy with that. It was worth every freakin' penny.

I have several Spanx Mid-thigh shorts, and this one is the best one so far. The others roll up at the waist a little bit, but this one stays put and feels very comfortable. I'll order another one soon in different color.

Awesome product for shaping the waist and hips. It's a one piece shaper, so it's great for dresses. I must admit that it's a little hard to get in at first, but it becomes much easier once you get used to it.

These seem to be well made and do add some shaping with minimal panty line, etc. And they are actually comfortable. That is my big thing, they are comfortable and do what they are supposed to do. These are underwear to hide your tummy just give you a little shape so pants fit are a bit more comfortable but they will not drop you a pants size or anything like that.

I am skinny so I cannot comment on how this helps with flattening your stomach. I bought this pair of Spanx to help my butt look a bit bigger and perkier in clothing and it does the trick while still looking natural. I have another shaper of a different brand that makes my butt look even bigger and perkier but looks unnatural in clothing other than jeans.
There are no butt pads as some photos make it look like there are. It simply perks up and lifts the butt checks which in turn makes them look bigger.I was worried that the thigh part would be uncomfortable or too tight but the small was actually a bit loose on me (I'm a size 4/6 and weigh 125) for a shaper and I wish they made this is XSmall.

These are nice, and comfortable enough to wear all day. I slightly prefer the ASSETS Firm Control High Waist Panty, just because they come up a little higher on me, but these fit fine and don't roll. I wear both interchangeably.
